Summary: snmptrapd traphandle error

Initial Comment:
When snmptrapd attempts to invoke an external trap handler (a shell script or a program) it emits the following error message:

support for run_shell_command not available

The snmptrapd.conf directives are:

authCommunity log,execute.net public
disableAuthorization yes
traphandle default /bin/echo trap-trap-trap

The net-snmp 5.7 was compiled without perl, and every example I've seen of something actually working is using a perl script instead of a shell or binary, and I'd like to know if this error message is perl-related, or if there's something else going on.

Ubuntu 11.04
